    I used to justifying buying the cheapest brand possible because it’s just to wipe shit on then throw away.

    my wife says I’m not wrong but…

    Most of us throwing money in the toilet everyday

    Technically one buys food just to eventually flush it down the toilet after briefly using it to maintain energy and mass.

  And matches are a thing you buy just to have go up in flames.

    And you use them to light cigarettes that literally go up in smoke. You can’t even store the smoke in your lungs, but at least you get to keep the tar and cancer.

  Not ‘just’ throw away. They provide a very nice convenience of bundling a bunch of trash together and make it all easier to transport to the bin.

    Thx for explaining what trash bags do.

  That’s not true! I also buy condoms

  Not really. You buy them as a container to keep your trash. So they serve a time limited purpose like pretty much any other product.

  • Gathorall@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Yeah, you buy food just to throw it away by this logic.

      The spring mix I purchase and forget about in the bottom drawer, only to be found again when it’s a bag of black goo is a sacrifice to the fridge god.

    As well as hide what’s inside. For privacy reasons.

      We can still see the outline of your sex toys, so as long as you’re sticking to that gauge and length (impressive, though!) you might want to double or even triple bag.

      Best regards,

  That reminds me of a Lily Tomlin joke: “The other day I bought a wastebasket and brought it home in a paper bag. Then I crumpled up the paper bag and put it in the wastebasket.” A lot of her stand-up act was just making little ironic observations like that.

  I used to get them for free from the grocery store, and then dumbasses banned them, now for the first time in my life I need to purchase them separately to use once instead of twice.

    I mean, they found one in the Mariana Trench, we probably shouldn’t use those anymore.

    You fit all your garbage into grocery bags and took each one out?

    source

    • Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yea, it was a great system. I used nothing other than grocery bags all of the way up until the stopped offering them.

    Aren’t biodegradeable bags allowed?

  Food packaging also really irks me. Technically, it has a use beyond being thrown away, but there’s just so much of it. You can readily find products in the shops that should be advertised as “plastic trash” and they just stuck a bit of food inside to keep it in shape…

  I buy food just to shit it out of my body, its the biggest scam

  Children are just things you make that will eventually die, some ending up killing themselves because of you constantly telling them how much a disappointment they are, because you are also fucked up from your parent’s doing the same thing.

  And then we’re extinct.

  Happily ever after.

  Sadly there’s way more like that. Mostly plastic related.

  Worse, you have to throw away the container the bags come in… in the bags! :)

  That was a Johnny Carson joke, from about 55 years ago….

  They also are used to ball up you clothing to toss in the car when you move…then in the trash can to then throw out. Yeah, you win this one.
